Chapter 761: I Hope to Become Part of This Family

An You’s procession reached the door. An You got off the horse first, then he helped Princess Mingzhu off the horse. The two didn’t hesitate at all to make body contact.

“Mother.” An You first greeted the old madame. The old madame nodded repeatedly. “It’s good that you’re back.”

Ning Shu looked towards An You while maintaining a smile. An You was a handsome and valiant man who gave off a mature charm. Dressed in martial attire, he gave people a very strong sense of safety.

“Lingxian.” An You reached out to take Ning Shu’s hand with a gentle expression, causing Ning Shu’s smile to completely stiffen and her hair to rise on end.

“Thank you for looking after the family.” An You squeezed Ning Shu’s hand.

“Father, Mother missed you so much that she even fell ill, but she got better the moment you came back,” said An Lingyun sweetly.

An You looked over at his daughter, then recalled about Princess Mingzhu and said to everyone as explanation, “This is Princess Mingzhu. She’s the daughter of Prince Yan and next to her’s the little prince.”

The moment everyone heard this, they quickly knelt down to salute her. Princess Mingzhu hastily said, “Everyone, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Seeing you guys, my heart’s filled with envy and yearning. I hope to become a part of this family.”

Ning Shu: …

Old Madame Shen Shi’s facial color changed drastically. Originally she had thought that this was just an ordinary citizen that was rescued from the civilian uprising, but unexpectedly it was actually an imperial princess of the third rank. She had actually rode on the same horse as her son? She showed no knowledge of the proper distance between men and women.

“Princess Mingzhu will be staying in this residence for the time being.” After An You said that, he turned around and said to Princess Mingzhu, “You can just treat this residence as your home from now on.”

When An Lingyun saw her father treating Princess Mingzhu so well, she stomped her feet childishly. “Father doesn’t love Lingyun anymore and only likes this princess now.”

Ning Shu berated An Lingyun. “Don’t be so rude towards the princess.”

“It’s fine,” Princess Mingzhu hastily said. “I really envy you guys. When I see you guys, I can’t help but recall my relatives in Cloud Province. They’re already no longer in this world.”

An Lingyun immediately responded sympathetically, “It’s okay. From now on, I’ll be your good friend.”

Princess Mingzhu nodded with a touched smile. She glanced towards An You and An You smiled back at her.

Ning Shu looked at Princess Mingzhu. She had a quiet and elegant beauty, was lively and poetic, gentle and beautiful, delicate yet strong, and courageous and determined.

Everything beautiful seemed to have been added to her, but it still couldn’t cover up the things she did.

The group respectfully welcomed Princess Mingzhu into the general’s residence. Ning Shu saw that An You kept consoling Princess Mingzhu this entire time, and even An Lingyun and An Yu kept hovering around Princess Mingzhu.

Ning Shu just watched without saying anything. When she looked to the side and saw that the old madame’s brows were tightly furrowed, she smiled faintly. There were some things that she refused to have to deal with on her own.

An You specially had a courtyard made open for Princess Mingzhu and added a lot of good things to the courtyard for the sake of giving Princess Mingzhu a sense of familial warmth.

An You came to look for Ning Shu to have her take out some money to make the courtyard as comfortable as possible. After all, Princess Mingzhu was an imperial princess.

Ning Shu barely stopped herself from rolling her eyes. She was deeply concerned that there was something wrong with An You’s brain. He actually insisted on bringing such an ancestor here to cause the family so much trouble.

It was such a childish gesture. Why in the world did An You feel like he was duty bound to look after Princess Mingzhu?

Since she was an imperial princess, she should just stay in the imperial palace properly instead of staying in a subject’s place during this time of mourning.
